Oct 30 2006Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe split
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have separated after seven years of marriage and two children. In a statement issued today their publicist says:
"We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate. They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time."
Reese initiated the split, though sources say it wasn't triggered by a single event but rather it was "cumulative." Which is a nice way of saying Ryan Phillippe's been a jerk for years. Plus I bet he can't benchpress an elephant or defeat ninjas in hand to hand combat. So pretty much I win at everything.

I've always thought they made a good couple.. this really convinces me that celebrity marriages never work.
7. Jade - The Gossip Girls - October 30, 2006 4:40 PM
This was one Hollywood couple that I thought would make it. They have the cutest kids.
Wonder who cheated?

That's so sad. I really like Reese, and Ryan's ridiculously hot. They seemed to have struck a good balance. What a shame.
16. HolisticWisdomcom - October 30, 2006 5:12 PM
I knew they were in counseling together, but I figured they would work things out. They seem like solid people, so it is sad to see.

Awwww, it's true. I'm so sad. =[
19. Stasmi - October 30, 2006 5:45 PM
He always struck me as being kind of gay. I think she's the better looking of the two.

20. HollyJ - October 30, 2006 5:48 PM
Wait.. He's not gay?? He's certainly wearing enough brown eyeshadow and black mascara to be Miss Thang.
21. Angry Ferret Jones - October 30, 2006 5:52 PM
Let's just do a quick reality check:
He's a gay.
She's a washed-up, has-been that popped out a few puppies.

Phillippe could so much better. At least they didn't have kids. Wait...

23. Ambassador of Sexy - October 30, 2006 6:23 PM
I'd totally bang either of them.

My friend runs a club in D.C. and Ryan was there one night a few months ago. They hung out late night going to a few different after hour clubs. They were doing coke through out the night. I guess what I'm trying to say is that he is a head and he most likely likes to suck on them too...........
I'm being serious about that night.......
27. Ed Bambrick - October 30, 2006 7:03 PM
Ryan probably got sick of waking up every morning with a woman who looks like a fucking Ferengi.
28. Danklin - October 30, 2006 9:26 PM
I always knew Ryan Phillippe was an asshole. Its about damn time she left him, shes too damn good for him.
29. CelebSlam.com - October 30, 2006 9:44 PM
By the way, I predicted this last Friday:

She isnt a has been, she just won an academy award this year...kinda hard to be a has been with that
Thats too bad they broke up, I thought they would make it. Reese is my favorite actress too.
31. shezpop - October 31, 2006 12:15 AM
#21 Just trying to make sure I got my reality check right.
He's "a gay", is he?
Is being a gay like being a different species of some sort, or maybe like being a complete idiot?
32. duster200 - October 31, 2006 1:46 AM
No, you're thinking of an 'Angry Ferret Jones.'
33. biatcho - October 31, 2006 4:10 AM
For your own sake Jade, Gossip Girl or whatever other annoying moniker you choose to go by... get out of here immediately. I found you annoying as shit yesterday but didn't have time to comment on it. Pease leave. You suck. Go to the mall or dosomething else less constructive.
34. andrew-film - October 31, 2006 4:55 AM
I don't know... Personally I just hate the two of them. They make me feel sick and want to turn off my television and give it up to some jerk. And then go to Hollywood and commit a sepukku hurting them! Oh...
35. HELLpenis - October 31, 2006 5:14 AM
That's weird. For some reason, I always kinda thought they'd be together forever. Not that I gave it much thought.
He's hot when he shaves. He looks like he has shit smeared on his face in that pic. He shouldn't try to grow a beard.
36. rori - October 31, 2006 5:30 AM
andrew-film, seppuku is suicide. Although it is probably a good idea in your case, it wouldn't do anything to the celebs in question.
37. RichPort - October 31, 2006 5:38 AM
Geez, if I yawned any wider at this snoozer, my top lip would've touched the back of my neck, revealing all of my dental secrets.
Unwed mothers? Suck dick next time...
38. rori - October 31, 2006 5:41 AM
Or, rather, it is a ritual suicide to restore or retain one's honor as a samurai. Either way, you're wrong.
39. gatorbates - October 31, 2006 5:44 AM
I offer 2 limericks:
THere once was a chick named Reese
Who's marriage came to a cease
She came to my pad
Looking awfully sad
Until I ravaged her crease.
Her crease was ravaged with great force
My giant cock was the pounding source
I quickened the pace
Shot my load on her face
and made her forget the divorce.
I'm here for you Reese.
40. jrzmommy - October 31, 2006 6:07 AM
maybe it was her chin?
41. sometimesboy - October 31, 2006 6:44 AM
see...the republicans were right...same sex marriages don't work.
at least they're both still young and pretty enough to find happiness again...
i'd still hit that...
42. LoneWolf - October 31, 2006 6:45 AM
Didja hear about that actress who stabbed her husband? Reese......
"Witherspoon?"
No, Witherknife!!
Thanks, Ladies and Gentlemen, I'll be here all week. Try the veal, and don't forget to tip your server.
43. BigJim - October 31, 2006 7:05 AM
I heard that after this happened she just fell to Reese's pieces.
44. jrzmommy - October 31, 2006 7:09 AM
42--I just laughed very loudly at that. Goofy! I love it!
45. PrettyBaby - October 31, 2006 7:28 AM
I know a chic who doubled for Reese in some of her movies like that one she was in with Mark Wahlberg (lucky whore) Anyway, apparently Reese is an enormous bitch on set, she is a snob and no one liked her. At least that is what this chic said.
And I have never, ever found this guy hot, he is TOO gay and snobbish and just to high on himself and coke apparently Stallion informs us #26
46. KelKel - October 31, 2006 7:40 AM
I always thought Ryan bats for the other team...Maybe Reese caught him in bed with Tom Cruise or somethin.
47. 86 - October 31, 2006 8:11 AM
It goes a little something like this:
Ryan is a punk ass.
Reese is a sweet southern girl who works very hard at everything and is a self-proclaimed Type A personality.
Reese has been holding this thing together for years just for her kids. Yeah, Ryan was sexy for a minute but he's such a dick.
She can do better. He will be banging Paris Hilton before Christmas.
48. jrzmommy - October 31, 2006 8:14 AM
47-And then we can watch Paris get her ass handed to her by Reese. Paris has a way of fucking a divorced guy and then the wife trounces her for it (Shannen Doherty, Shana Moakler...)
49. commissioner - October 31, 2006 8:50 AM
Don't count Ryan out just yet. I'll bet he gets an Oscar nod for "Flags".
Paris can fuck my ex-husband all she wants, maybe he'll catch something retched and die.
50. Angry Ferret Jones - October 31, 2006 8:56 AM
#31/#32 - Surely that is not the first time the two of you have heard the expression "You are the gay" (or as it appears on the web 'You Are Teh Gay')
How sad it must be for the two of you to be The Gay AND be completely outside the loop of gay society.
51. 86 - October 31, 2006 8:57 AM
One can only hope!! ha!
52. commissioner - October 31, 2006 9:01 AM
ooh, I mean *wretched*. too much candy.
53. jrzmommy - October 31, 2006 9:12 AM
CANDY!!!!
54. commissioner - October 31, 2006 10:10 AM
I'm doing the Snoopy Candy Dance as I type.
Candy, candy, candy. Is that an Iggy Pop song? I'm lapsing into a diabetic coma . . . . .
55. RichPort - October 31, 2006 10:26 AM
I think I'm gonna be one of those cheap fucks and hand out those red and white striped peppermint balls this year. Which reminds me, I have to get to the diner before the lunch crowd takes them all.
56. PrettyBaby - October 31, 2006 10:29 AM
#55, Nooooo
How could you?! I don't care how big your cock is, that's just wrong.
57. jrzmommy - October 31, 2006 10:33 AM
I just ate 7 individual Reese PB cups, two mini banana laffy taffies, 4 Rolos and a small box of Nerds. I think I'm about to have a seizure.
58. biatcho - October 31, 2006 11:20 AM
gotcha beat jrz... because I have not yet eaten lunch, I have resorted to the offcie candy bowl. Wherein I have consumed, within a 6.5 minute time period no less, 3 Reese's pumpkin chocolate things, 4 mini Twix bars, 2 packs of smarties and very soon I will have a small bag of skittles. Followed by a cigarette. And a diabetic shot of insulin. And vomiting. Lots of vomiting.
59. biatcho - October 31, 2006 11:20 AM
it all looks really hilarious in my garbage can next to my desk.
60. jrzmommy - October 31, 2006 11:28 AM
Biatcho--nice. I think my fucking flu shot is slowing me down today. OF ALL DAYS! I'll let the EMTs know your intake when the big sleepy coma sets in for you.
61. RichPort - October 31, 2006 11:48 AM
I was gonna dress up my 6 month old, but for what. The little fucker will just drool all over the costume, and by the time he's old enough to actually eat the candy, I'll have given it to next year's trick or treaters.
I used to try be pervy when I knocked on people's doors... DICK HER TEETH!!!... then when the asked me what I said I politely asked for candy.
62. biatcho - October 31, 2006 12:02 PM
This morning I am watching my local traffic & weather channel and the weather guy literally says "It's gonna be a great day today and I have tricks for you if you have some treats". I nearly shat my pants with hilarity!!!!!!!!!!! Even better is that it loops every 2 minutes for an hour with the same thing. I wonder how many people are complaining.
63. PrettyBaby - October 31, 2006 12:32 PM
biatcho and Richport, your such quiet, unassuming souls. Loosen up a little.
64. Spindoc - October 31, 2006 12:35 PM
On my blog I posted a story that the director Kevin Smith told about what a bitch Reese is in real life. Looking at her chin she just has that neurotic pissed off school marm look.
And I've heard that he might be "A gay"
65. jrzmommy - October 31, 2006 12:52 PM
He's kinda weird looking. Yep...he's a gay alright.
66. biatcho - October 31, 2006 1:18 PM

And maybe a screw or five.

How can Charlize get divorced if she's not even married?!

Wow a career driven woman in Hollywood not being able to keep her marriage together? Say it aint so!

Nice try.
71. andrew-film - November 1, 2006 1:38 AM
@36,38 rori
- seppuku is suicide.
Yeah, I know that. It was a joke and you misunderstood that. So either you're stupid or the joke is not funny at all. But the joke is funny.
72. 86 - November 1, 2006 8:31 AM
Supposedly Abbie Cornish is the adulturous wench he was cheating with.
73. frenchtoaststix - November 2, 2006 11:36 AM
I posted this on a different site that didn't support plus signs. Here goes nothing.
Ryan Phillippe + No-Name Actress x Piece of Shit Movie = Hot sex in trailer
Reese Witherspoon + Ca$h x Oscar = Mr. No-Dick Witherspoon.
74. frenchtoaststix - November 2, 2006 11:37 AM
@42: That was excellent! Totally helped me maintain the sugar high I have been on all morning from eating my children's Halloween candy!
75. Unmarked_Art - November 7, 2006 7:18 AM
You mean you can't base an entire relationship on the filming of the first in a long, terrible, softcore series of Cruel Intentions movies? Oh Shit, MY wife and I are DOOMED.
On a happy note, at least "The Santa Claus" franchise is going strong...but next we'll be hearing that Tim Allen stopped sleeping in the same bed as Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Tear.
